Kathy Jewell, Mary Messina & Laura Carstensen
30 years ago you gave birth to a little girl;
It wasn't easy raising her alone in this world.
Through the years you have shown her love
And taught her what dreams are made of.
With everything you have taught her through the years
Through the smiles, the laugh and the tears...
We have grown to respect, admire, love and adore
everything you and your daughter stand for.
Soon she was a successful entertainer in everyway
You were there on your knees saying a prayer each day.
Fans were amazed by the lady climbing the charts
And she quickly earned her way into the fans hearts.
Her talent can only hold her for so long.
But you will hold her for longer then any song.
You will show her love until your dying day.
When you will turn around and go your own way.
The fans of country music have grown to see
the amazing talent of the the lady named Jo Dee.
From her fans all around the great big world
we thank you for raising such a special girl.
